Lyric discussion by JuJuV 

"Just Like Paradise" describes the events and feelings associated with youthful romance/adventure.

Amidst a whirlwind of images from the rock and roll era -- music blasting from the stereo of [Suzy's] "Daddy's car" -- the lyric's protagonist seeks some adventure ("I got the itch/ And a restless soul," with his romantic infatuation, Suzy.

The rock/pop-craft of "Just Like Paradise" is an 1980s update on the early-1960s 'California teen romance' songs by The Beach Boys. Roth had successfully covered The Beach Boys on 1985's "California Girls."

"Just Like Paradise" was presented to Roth by his keyboardist, Brett Tuggle -- ands produced using numerous tracks and overdubs by Steve Vai, Roth's guitarist, and Roth himself.

"Just Like Paradise" is the lead-off song to the musical "Rock of Ages."
